Thanks for setting this up - very cool. Felt pretty good reporting a vast majority of "No's".

What's the formula to calculate kWhr versus elevation? It's it a simple rule of thumb (2 kWhr per 1000 ft), or more complex for example including weight, etc? It would be good for me to know given my location and most road trips involve at least 2k feet elevation (to CA, AZ, or UT)

Not sure if you got an answer, but there is in fact a sticker on the driver's door frame which contains the manufacture date along with weight. Open the door and it's on the frame.

My car, coincidentally, was manufactured the same month as yours. I've had no issues. When you receive the car, just check all of the physical moving parts like t/frunk, door handles, windows, etc. They'll check that before delivery, but you should as well. Any recall items will have been...

Great point. Suboptimal tire pressure _will_ impact efficiency

Anyone know what those two beep or chime sounds are which come on after you've awaken the car and started driving? It's a new sound after 2.1.43, and I always thought it was the indicator that the Camera was operational, however, the camera is already working prior to the sound. The sound...

The Tesla wipers are literally the keystone example I convey to anyone who complains that the Lucid design has "too many boomer (physical) controls". I truly do not ever want to take my eyes off the road and navigate 3 screens deep, on a 15 inch laptop screen, to turn on wipers.

For me, I carry all three all the time (Fob, Key Card in my wallet, and mobile key). Probably due to the fact I my profession is in technology, and so always have two backup plans :)

I've literally had to change charging stations because I was pulling 6 kW at Quartzite. Imagine waiting 40 minutes in 100 degree temps, baking in the sun only to have to wait another 20 minutes to change chargers. When I changed I was bouncing between 20-36 kW. I took as little as possible to...

Unfortunately, not North to Las Vegas on 95. You have to stop at Quartzite and then again in Searchlight. Now if Kingman was reliable, I could stretch to a single stop there and make it in my Touring 20". However, Kingman is notoriously problematic.

My least favorite EA station (which is saying somethin'), but there aren't other options so you just have to plan for a long wait and a very slow charge (sometimes single digit).

At every EA, i get out of my car and talk to the other owners who know the wait order. When a car comes later, if they don't do the same, we don't walk over to them, say hello and talk EV for a few minutes and let them know. I've never experienced any issues with line jumping, and it's great to...

Putting depreciation into perspective... Source: Visual Capitalist from two days ago. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-which-cars-depreciate-fastest/#google_vignette

Bummer... I'm be in Tampa.

Same. Not worried about it. They'll handle it. Keep in mind, the just updated the installer, so we should not be surprised if there's a bump in the road.

FYI - I received the update today, so it seems to be continuing rolling out.

Have not received as of yet. FWIW.... Customer Care indicated it is not yet being pushed fleet-wide.

We could begin training a model based on all updates and VINs. Maybe we could build a predictive analytics engine :-)

Meanwhile .... The past two OTA updates that I have received have been tuning regen. There was a significant change in terms of smoothness in 2.1.33, and in 2.1.42 regen seems to be cranked up stronger. Normally, my "Since Last Charge" is 3.7 give or take. So, it's one of two things or...

Ensure High Regen is enabled for brakes. Minimize your Heat or A/C use. Ensure your tires are properly inflated (don't underestimate the impact of this) I drive 90% of the time "city driving" between speeds of 40-60 mph, 10% of the time "highway" 70-80 mph. Accelerate reasonably Tip: Disable...
